So I’ve been pretty sick for a couple of weeks now(turns out I have double ear and sinus infection) plus I’ve been late every night this week for work events and church meetings, I kept forgetting to sign Chloe up for a school activity that she really wants. The deadline is tomorrow (thank God!) so Chloe left these “reminder notes” everywhere in my room, closet and bathroom!

And it worked! I didn’t forget this time. 🙂

Second stop: OM studio

We had so much fun push ourselves in Aerial circus class combining silks, lyra and trapeze!

Lunch at Extra Virgin,

Then treated ourselves with sweets at Dominique Ansel Kitchen

Our first stop was The Museum of Feelings – “Turn Your Emotions into Art. Explore the connection between scent and emotion” 

I came out feeling super “inspired”!

This morning, I came bright and early for our team building/trend track day, visiting museums and doing all kinds of cool stuff. We have an amazing fun day planned ahead so I was super excited.  Then I happened to pass by 9/11 Memorial site… I couldn’t believe it’s my first time being here…ever… As I was passing by I felt the heavy emotions and uncontrollable sadness, and of course, I began crying like I always do. I’m a crier… With all these crazy things we hear on the news  these days, I was just overwhelmed … After a few minutes of pause and a prayer, I gathered myself and moved on. I am thankful for the faith I have and that I was reminded of God’s providence… in the end, no matter how our lives end here on earth, we will be with our creator and we will have the final victory against evil…

For this year’s jewelry sale, I invited my friend Amy, who became a consultant for Beautycounter to join my holiday party.

Ready to party with ladies!

We got our Christmas tree today and Kids already wrapped and put our presents under the tree!

Chloe made place cards for everyone with leftover cranberries

Roasted Beet Salad with ricotta cheese sprinkled with pomegranate. So festive!

Cranberry sauce

Sausage Pear stuffing

Ta Da~ The turkey was juicy and tender and delicious. My guests kept laughing at me every time I praise my own food.

Thank you Sang family for joining us!

We also had the most adorable fluffy guest.

Chloe and Andrew’s collaborative “Apple Pie” hee hee

This year, we decided to stay home and cook a Thanksgiving meal together as a family. Chloe and Andrew are making an apple pie together… 

These two are talking more than working…

And Shane also helped making truffle oil garlic mashed potatoes.

I got this spice mix from Williams Sonoma and brined the 13lbs Turkey for 48 hours. We’ll see!
